VOL. 24. WELLSBOBU, liOGA COUNTY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1011 WHOLE NO. 100KING BACK HALF A CENTUKY Some Characteristics of the Union Volunteers in the Civil War. The early Union volunteers Were animated bj high ideals.

The war question was one of the highest possible moral issue The anti-slavery agitation at the north had defined the issue with clearm-bs. volunteer knew he was offering himself in a holy cause If any doubted that the spirit of the fathers lived in the sonb, those doubts were soon dispelled If any believed that the aims of the mass of the people had become mercenary, that belief was quickly corrected, as the oung men of all classes the flower of every 'community came crowding to place their on the roll of their country's defenders asking nothing, and knowing nothing of pay or bounty, or pension, but eager only to risk their lives for tbier country, attacked by armed Secession, inspired by slavery. And so they marched away under the flag, to the music of the Union, fifty vears ago. They were of the best material for soldier's, but it was raw material. They had everything to learn in the art "of war, but they were willing learners.

I remember -very well, in one of the first companies was one who had served in the Mexican war and of course we made him one of our Lieutenants, for we found that he could command. "March! Halt! File Right: File Left!" But we.scmn found out that that was all he did know, and couldn't learn any more; but that was more than any ot us knew and it served while it lasted, but did not last long, for we soon had a captain who required his lieutenants and sergeants to study the military "tactics" and recite to him twice a week. This process soon weeded out the incompeteats and gave us efficient officers. But before this was accomplished some very funny "commands" were originated. I recall one case of a lieutenant to whom tactics were Greek; drilling the company, and try-r ing to march it through a gap in a tence, but, do what he could, he could not bring the company up endwise to the gap, so that it could pass through.

All his knowledge and efforts were futile. Every time the company would come up broad side to the gap, its lines extending either side ol the gap some distance. A simple command would have worked it. such as, "By the right flank, file left," or "By the left flank, file but that was the rub, and instead, he nftlted the company, and said "Break ranks, and when you form, fall in on the other side of that d--d fence!" But these crudities passed away mnd good officers, as a rule, came to mcntg which then came under my observation which were notable for their fine appearance, precision of n-ent, discipline and splendid condi- lion of efficiency generally: "the 45th Regiment under Col. the "Bucktails" under Col.

Biddle, and the "Sixth Reserves" under Col. Rlck- etts. But I have been much surprised of late in reading an article by George Gary Eggleston. on the utter lack of drill and discipline among the VI r- jgtnia Rebel volunteers during the ftstysar of the war. "The Southern army at any rate was simply a vast mob of rather 111- armed young men.

In point of fact, they were only organized and taught Welsh was a great disciplinarian, and showed his handiwork: but his health gave way, and his regiment and the country suffered a great loss. Col. Biddle had no superior, and would have served his country better at the head of his regiment than in Congress, at that time. quite added to our affection for Colonel Ricketts that he had been dismissed from West Point by Jeff Davis, when Secretary of War, for standing under a guard shelter, in a furious storm, one night at West' Point. He had a trumpet voice, which could be distinctly heard a mile; but disease carried him off.

The grade of officers had much to do with the proficiency of the men. It might almost be said that the making of the regiment rested in the line officers. Good officers insure good regiments, out of indifferent material; while poor line officers will always insure a poorly disciplined regiment, though the material may be good. There can be no better preparation for the making of an officer, than the experience of service in the ranks; for perforce he must go through the "School of the will know how it is himself. Such an officer cannot well become a martinet.

After a year or two of service, a change of this kind began to take place in the line officers and added staying qualities to the line of battle. But the mass of soldiery on either side soon became fighting men of the first quality with dash, firmness, endurance and tried courage. Panics were unknown and neither could gain much over the other, unless there was some advantage of circumstance. It was American against American. Then came the "Tug of Probably in the beginning the Southern soldier may have been, man for man, the superior to some extent of the Northern soldier.

They were more generally accustomed to field sports and the use of arms, and perhaps the duello had taken away the nervousness of looking into the muzzle of a loaded gun. They were fighting, for the most part, on their own soil, which makes a difference. But this disparity, if it really existed, did not last Jong. Both sides, indeed, soon, developed the Anglo-Saxon fighting qualities which distinguish the race. The charge of the Pennsylvania Reserves, which broke Lee's center, at Fredericksburg, in 1862.

and Pickett's charge at-Gettysburg, the next year, are specimens of This. The devoted" army of the tomac had a hard fate during the first three ears of the war. It was worthy of a better record than it made against the army of Northern Vir- Irtnla. lis commanders, Burnside. Pope and Hooker, were not the equals of Lee and his lieutenants.

But time brought all things even. This army of patriots did not lose TJ1GES OLD AGE PENSIONS. Congressman W. B. Wilson Wants People to Consider the Measure.

Congressman William B. Wilson, of this district, has introduced in the House an old- age pension bill that is likely to attract considerable attention and discussion. It provides that the Secretary of Commerce and Labor give employment to persons of years of age or more who have been residents of the United States twenty-five years and citizens thereof for not less than fifteen years, and whose unlncumbered property is not more than $1,500 in value or annual income is not more than $240. These persons are to be paid annually by the Secretary of Labor and Commerce the sum of $120, in installments of a month. Their employment shall consist of reporting annually to the Secretary condition of labor in the localities where they reside.

The bill further provides that no one physically or mentally incompetent to make such reports shall be dismissed for failure to make them. In this way the system of old-age pensions would be inaugurated under the terms of the bill without calling the beneficiaries pensioners. This is done in order to escape the difficulties the constitution is supposed to interpose to the granting of straight- out old-age pensions. The scheme is said to be the same that Is in vogue in New York, and is on the New Zealand plan, which is quite the most up-to-date reform country in the world. Mr, Wilson, it is said, does not expect his bill to pass, or perhaps be acted on at this session of Congress.

He realizes that the question of old- age pensions is in the academic stage of discussion in this country, and not even, well advanced in that. But he believes in such pensions himself, and has introduced this bill in the hope that it will cause discussion of the question and clarify the atmosphere. REDFIELD--PATTISON WEDDING. Miss Helen M.

This law, said the Commissioner, marks a great step forward in the interest of the householder and the honest dairyman. It puts the pump out of commission as a substitute for the good old brindle row. and gives the town child a chance to get fair food. It drives the pretty a npcative quantity.

This is the first law i nacted in a i a in -which a milk standard for the entire state has been fixed. It Is worthy of note. An Appreciation.

Of the few who reach the age oi eighty-eight years, only now and then is there one endowed -with the superabundant vitality, the indomitable spirit, which fills full all the springs of life, and gives added depth and meaning to every phase of human experience. Of such an arden nature was Mrs. L. P. Williston, -who died June 7th, the widow of the late Judge Williston.

She touched life at every point am found it good. The weakness and misgivings, discouragement and fail ure which come to most of us wen not written in her books. Even death itself could hardly pierce the joints of her armor. A devoted wife and mother, a notable- housewife a a time when -the-domestic-arts co.ver ed a wider field than at present, an earnest, loyal Churchwomaa, a kinf friend and neighbor, ever ready minister to need and suffering, sh filled successfully every relation in life. With what we call Yankee fac ulty, she united a Southern warmth and brightness and love of pleasure due perhaps to the strain of Spanish blood which ran in her veins.

When cut off from any further activities the infirmities, of age, she cheerful! took her place as an onlooker, but a one likely to be called back into ser vice. years of past usefulness her absolute disregard of persona ailments, and her ready and genia interest in others made her, in he latter days, a queen regnant. If ex pressed, her wish would surely hav been that of Tennyson-- "And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, But such a -tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home." Mrs. Williston is survived by four of her six children Mrs. Charles Breck and Mrs.

G. B. Johnson, of Wellsboror Miss Ellen M. Williston. of Philadelphia, and Mr.

H. S. Williston, of Billings, Montana. The funeral was held from St. Paul's church, Saturday- afternoon, June 10th.

The bride was escort- hy her father, who gave her in marriage, the ring service being used. The bride wore a white satin princess robe, en train, trimmed with real lace and hand-embroidered with jearls, the long veil being fastened with syringa blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bridal-roses tied with chiffon. Her going-away gown was of gray mannish cloth with gray hat to match. The maid-of-honor was gowned in white marquisette and carried a.show- er bouquet of pink roses.

The wedding luncheon was served by Mr. Edward Butcher, caterer, whose usual well-known efficiency was in evidence. Three young ladies. Misses Belle Stewart, Cora Berg and Clerice Moore, kindly assisted in serving the guests and were present- by the bride with gold hat-pins. About thirty guests were present.

The presents were beautiful and useful, consisting ol cut glass, silver, checks, jewelry, etc. The bride's gift to the maid-of-honor was a pearl- studded pendant and the groom's present to his best man was a diamond and pearl scarfpin. Mr. and Mrs. Pattison left, after receiving the best wishes of those present, for an extended wedding trip, after which they will be at home to their friends in the house recently purchased by Mr Pattison, and which is now being prepared for them on West Main street.

The bride and groom are deservedly popular people, and large circle of friends who wish them every blessing during life's journey together. Engineer Predicts It Will Return Under Its Own Steam Power. F. a of I-Mttslwrg. who is working under Maj Ferguson, in Havana harbor, raising the wreck of the a i Maine i to btating that the ship, believed to have Jievn sunk by a Spanish mine, i surely arrive in New- York harbor its own steam, and tells of the progress being made in the work.

The letter was mailed from Havana on June 'A. O'Mally urg'b that the it has been raised, be sailed through the new Panama Canal that great project is completed. His letter refers to a debt that ewry soldier, who fought i the war and who passed through that state, owes Ui its people. He savs in part; The Maine should be taken to New York harbor and afterward to Porto Bello, a safe and sheltered harbor on the Isthmus of Panama and there berthed until the big canal is opened in 1915. when she could be sent (the first ship through the canal) en route to the world's fair at San Francisco.

This is due California for its generous and loyal treatment of the great army of men who passed through there in 1898 and since, en route to the Philippines and China, and also those returning. California saw to it that no soldier went hungry, or without socks or underclothing. The volunteers cannot forget the loyal and generous treatment of California. We've got the job licked this minute and have the harpoon into her a mile right now; so the Maine will go to New York harbor all right. The Cuban government has been and will be -very k'ind.

They have given us Moro Castle for the repose of our dead (88 bodies in the wreck). The city, harbor and shipping will be half masted and full military honors will be extended. Secretary of the Navy Meyer is heartily in favor of giving the wreck of Maine, when it is removed from Havana Harbor, a military burial. The Secretary said he would gladly indorse a movement to that end if he knew when the wreck was to be removed and whether it would be practicable to have vessels of the Atlantic fleet near enough to the burial ground to participate. According, to the opinion of engineers, it will be late in the sum- DEATH OF HON.

Albert C. Hopkins was born in Vil- lenovia, Chautauqua county, New York, September U37; attended various schools until November, 1856, when left Alfred. Allegany county, New York, to teach school in Troy. Bradford from there he returned to Chautauqua county, where he was educated for a merchant, and resided in Jamestown, Westfipld. and Forestville until 1S62, he engaged in the mercantile business in Troy.

where he remained until 18fi7; removed to Lock Haven, Clinton county, in that year, and became actively engaged in lumber business, in its various branches; he had never been an applicant for office, nor held one until elected to the Fifty-second Congress, in 1890, as a Republican, receiving 15.824 votes, against 15.773 votes for Mortimer F. Elliott, Democrat." and 1,063 votes for Herbert T. Aimes, Prohibitionist. He was re-elected in 1892, by a majority of aver 3,000. In both of the campaigns the usual Democratic majority in Clinton county, which until that time had been almost unbroken, was practically reversed.

During his four years in congress, Mr. Hopkins served on the committee of expenditures in the interior department, and on the committee of Indian affairs. It was largely through his efforts as a member of the latter committee, advised and assisted by Cardinal Gibbons and other prominent men who bad the welfare of the Indians at heart, that the removal of the LT.es from Colorado and the seizure of their lands was prevented. His experience during his service on this committee gave him a profound respect and sympathy for the Indian, which moved him to an extensive study of their characteristics and history. The knowledge he gained in this direction both from the books he gathered and read, and from the Indian missionaries and authorities, CARRIE NATION DEAD.

Her death had been pci since she parsed into a comatose state the day before. A nervous breakdown months ago reported to havp resulted from anxiety over a lawsuit to money due her for lecturing In the east under a syndicate, and which the syndicate refused to pay, was the cause other coming to the sanitarium.

Carrie Moore Nation was born near Versailles, nearly 65 In she was married to a Dr. Lloyd, and lived for one at Hoiden', Mo. Her husband died of delir- um tremens. After ten jears of widowhood, she married David Nation, and for a time lived in Warrensburg, Mo where she was the editor of a paper. They later moved to Richmond, where Nation conducted such a strenuous reform campaign that they kept the Lone State state in a constant turmoil.

In the national campaign of 1884 the Nations incurred the enmity of a certain class and one night 20 men gave Nation a severe beating. They then moved to Medicine Lodge, Kan. Mrs. Nation had long fostered the anti-liquor sentiment and in 1901 she began her sensational crusades of physical violence against saloons. in August, 1901, her husband obtained a divorce, and is now said to be living a retired life in Iberia, O.

Then followed many memorable trips by the crusader In many states of the union lecturing on the evils of drink, and in many cases following her speeches up with practical demonstrations in "joint smashing." She was arrested several times for destroying property, but always escaped very easily. By the sale of "souvenirs," by lectures and other profitable exhibitions of herself, Mrs. Nation is said to have accumulated a fortune of nearly $150.000. The remains were interred at Kansas City.

Pn'rcl i of I i "show me" test, few business men realize the important work being done by these clubs. The east has been far behind the west in realizing the benefits to be derived from such a club. Until this year, all the big conventions of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America have been held in the west. Last year it was held in Omaha, and the east was represented by three delegates, two from New York and one from Boston. But those three delegates were live ones and when they stowed the 1911 convention in their vest pocket they came east with a firm determination to show the west that there was still something-doing east of the Alleghenies.

The big Boston convention will undoubtedly prove to the western brethren the fact that "show me" land is not confined to the west. The following from the Commercial Tnion gives but a vague idea of what the 1911 conventiion will be: That only the will be good enough for the Pilgrim Publicity As- foeiation when it entertains the Associated Advertising Clubs of America, in August, is shown by the fact that it has hired the Boston Opera House for the chief public meeting of the convention, on the afternoon of Aug. 3 The addresses at that meeting will be on "Advertising and Public Morals," "Advertising and Dailv Bread" and "Advertising and Civilization Other meeting places of the convention which will be held Aug. 1, 2, 3 and 4, will be Ford Hall, Kingsley Hall, Weslean Hall, six halls in Tremont Temple and the large hall in the Boston City Club.

Mitchell came along to get his horse he told Mrs. Button that he had stopped tc kill a snake, but didn't a time to do it. She then went down the road armed with a club, found the snake and pounded it until it should have been dead, but it wasn't. Mrs. Button thought she had finished it, however, cut off its rattles and hung the snake over a wire fer.ee.

Mr. Button and Harry Wheeler went to look at the snake that evening, but it was not on the fence. When they returned home Mrs. Button exhibited the 13 rattles as proof of her exploit. The next morninc, as Mr.

Button was passing the place where Mrs. Button had fought the rattler, he saw the same snake ready for battle, and to make a thorough job of it he cut off its head. Later in the day Mr. Button killed another rattlesnake, i "sported" nine rattles. Harry Root and a i visited Mrs.
